Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Brown pork cubes in two batches, ~3 minutes per batch without stirring.
Step 2
Return all pork to the skillet. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and 4 minced garlic cloves with 0.5 cup water.
Step 3
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until pork is fork-tender and sauce darkens, ~10 minutes.
Step 4
While pork simmers, heat 1 tbsp oil in a separate skillet over medium. Fry remaining 2 garlic cloves until fragrant, ~30 seconds.
Step 5
Add rice to garlic oil and break up clumps. Stir constantly until rice is heated through and grains separate, ~2 minutes.
Step 6
Divide rice between two bowls. Top with pork humba and glaze. Serve hot.
